I wanted to post about my GT's twin that recently got. You either love or hate Vipers, but this is my third. All have been Gen3's so I"m sure the Gen5's are way more refined. We traded almost the exact car for this Heffner Twin Turbo. Both had the ACR paint scheme but what is under the hood is completely different.
This car keeps a smile on my face from the moment I fire it up. If any of you are Viper fans and power freaks, look into a Heffner or Underground Viper. The Gallardos have taken over and I can see how 800+hp with AWD would be a blast but the guy I got the car from has had both and says that because the Gallardo's are AWD, they really don't feel fast until about 1000whp. I'd love to drive a TT Gallardo for comparison one day.
The car is "rough". It rattles and creeks. There is certainly no smootheness to the ride. It's made to feel every bump in the road. It's pretty raw to say the least. Another plus is, it's American made, very easy to get parts, and about any mechanic can work on it. I've had some "bugs" to work out since the car has been sitting for about a year, but overall it's a blast, especially when you drop the top. It's also got a hardtop that gives it a totally different look. Almost 3 cars in one!!
